Few people would consider their lives blighted by a child. Let's put the blame for such deceit on the offending party upon whom it rightly belongs.

From the opinion it appears this guy and child did not have much of a relationship. There is no indication that they did and, trust me, if the court could have bolstered this weak decision they would have.

If you would care to re-read my post you will find that I stated that the man's life has been blighted by the fraudulent actions of the mother. In effect this decision supports a woman's right to lie about the paternity of her children. Once again "The law is an ass"

I would think that more than a few people would consider their lives blighted by paying the bills for a child not their own...particularly if they were not parenting that child (i.e., get the bills, no visitation, no parental authority to guide that child, etc.)

From the opinion it appears that he did not claim the child. The dissent says that he never did.

From the looks of it and the low amount of support, this is a standard default order entered on a low income man.
